Master Bathroom {pedestal tub, white subway tile, carrera}

Our master bathroom is finally done!! It was our most complicated DIY project to date, just because we had to move/add some plumbing. We have never attempted that before. It was extremely hard to get a before picture of the bathroom because it was 2 small tight spaces. One was a walkthrough vanity area and the other was the toilet, sink and stall shower.

blue toilet, 80's decor, small, dark, awkward...

First, we knocked down the wall between the two spaces and relocated the door. We also removed two full size linen closets so we would have enough room to add in a separate tub. We kept the toilet and shower in their previous locations, but added a pedestal tub and second sink. The bathroom is still not huge at 11ftx8ft but we managed to fit everything in and stay within our $7,000 budget. We also added built-ins to the walls between the door to the bedroom so we would have linen storage.

Beadboard: PVC from Home Depot. This is on the ceiling as well. It is reversible and comes in two sizes. We used the shorter (3ft), closer spaced beadboard on the walls and the longer (7ft), wider side on the ceiling. Great product to work with.

GORGEOUS!! You did an amazing job and I love all of your choices. They will stay in style forever. We did an overhaul of our master bath too and know how much of an undertaking it is to move and add plumbing, walls, etc. Doesn't it feel good to accomplish it yourself?!Thanks for sharing. I love it!Kate

Thanks for your comment, Pat. I have been thinking about getting this bathroom done for years. So glad it is finally done. Now, if only the master bedroom it is attached to was as update. That is our next project.

OMG! You have my dream bathroom! the tub, the shower, the vanity and those beautiful mirrors are stunning! If you get a chance, please share this on my linky party: http://suburbsmama.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-link-party-5.html

Thanks so much for visiting and for the compliment, Susan! LOL, there is A LOT of testosterone around here. That's why I needed this bathroom to be my own tranquil space to escape it! I am going to visit your blog to see what life is like with all girls :)

Visiting from Monday Funday. I'd like to invite you to my Friday Flash Blog, where you can share your best blog entry of the week! The party goes on ALL weekend at thejennyevolution.com. And who knows, you may just get featured next week.

Hi! I'm visiting from the Best of the Weekend link party at A Little CLAIREification. You're bathroom caught my eye and I had to come see more. It is beautiful! I love the soft, serene spa like feel. The materials you chose and details you added really bring such elegance and a timeless appeal to the space. Again, the bathroom is just beautiful!

Your master bath makes me so jealous!!!! The subway tile alone makes me start to drool. I can't wait to redo mine and will be following your post as a guide :) We just bought a new home and while I love it, the master bath has WHITE CARPET and those awful stage lights (you know, the round bulb kind). WTH???? Ugh. I will have to suffer until we can remodel ... Heather M, www.RockStew.com

Thank you, Heather! I know what you mean about hating your bathroom. I lived like that for years too. White carpet?? What were they thinking? Just think, you will appreciate it all the more when you can remodel.

Oh wow Courtney, your bathroom turned out SO nice! We just did a bathroom reno and used that same mirror. I actually have Sea Salt in our powder room, too. It's a perfect light bluish-greenish-grayish color if I do say so myself :)Great minds, right?!? I'd love to feature this on my paint color blog. Let me know if you're interested!

Hi Jena. Thanks so much. Isn't that mirror amazing? Adds so much style without a lot of $$. I agree about sea salt. It is a beautiful color that changes with the light depending on the time of day. I would love to be featured on your paint color blog. Thanks so much for asking.

Oh my gosh!!! That is fabulous! It looks so good you should have HGTV calling you and giving you your own show any day now. So love it, and I wish I could copy it right down to the tiniest detail. Well I can a least go get that paint color ;) Great job on a small budget.

Love, love, LOVE your bathroom!!! Love your blog too, Courtney! Looking for a chandelier for my bedroom and yours seems to be perfect! Would you share what the product number is on Overstock? Thank you so much! Ann

Hi Anne. Thank you! Chandelier is Item #: 12114025 at Overstock. You do have to assemble it yourself but it took me less than an hour and it really is a beautiful chandelier for the money. Hope that helps!

That's great, Ann! I hope you love it. I found when I was putting it together that it was very helpful to have a picture of the finished chandy next to me. Sometimes the diagram they included seemed unclear...Let me know how it goes. You have a great weekend, too :)

Your bathroom is incredible! I love every detail from the paint to the lighting! I am following you now. I am a mother of two boys and we have a golden retriever so I think I am really going to enjoy your blog!-Shelley

I would love for you to link it up at the Mommy Archive. We're focused on bathroom makeovers, organisation and cleaning this week but you can also link up your fab old posts on all sorts of other topics from spring cleaning and green cleaning to housework routines and laundry, Alice@ Mums Make Lists x

You guys did a FABULOUS job!!! I love all the open shelving you added in around the door and in the shower stall. I also love the white color scheme... It makes the space so fresh and bright! I also love the beadboard ceiling... It's something I wanted to do in our bathroom but am not able to do on my own!

What I enjoy most is your tub!!! I just bought JUST like it in mini size for my dollhouse. :)

I found a picture of your bathroom on Pinterest - I just had to tell you how beautiful it is! The mirrors are gorgeous - I'm headed to Lowes in hopes of finding them for our own bathroom make over. Beautifully done! I hope you are loving the results of all your hard work.

I have been looking for days for a picture of my future bathroom! thanks so much for posting this and giving such great detail and sources! you are so talented:) we are starting demo next week and now i am going to start finding all the pieces. I live in canada and fear i will never find something as cool as your mirrors.... cheers

question about your shower head: are you happy with the quality? Can you adjust/angle the actual head? Was installation ok? Just wondering as we are going to order the same one for our bathroom reno and would appreciate your critique. Thanks so much, Kirsten

Courtney, your bathroom is gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! I truly never believed a bathroom could be just so stunning!

I emailed you awhile back about being featured on Remodelaholic.com (where I work with Cassity scheduling guest features). I haven't heard back, so I just thought I would drop you a line here in case my email got stuck in the spam filter. If you're interested in being featured, will you drop me a line at hello@remodelaholic.com? Thanks!

Just wanted to say I love your bathroom - I'm currently remodeling mine, and ran across yours while looking for inspiration photos. I'm pretty sure I have that exact same blue sink and toilet - though I still have the matching blue tub as well! *shudder* I'm very excited to see them gone. :)

Your bathroom is absolutely stunning. You did an outstanding job. I would love for you to come and link this up to my Fall into Fall link party that opens at 8pm EST. Hope to see you there. http://diybydesign.blogspot.com

Love your bathroom. I have tub and faucets sitting in my room now but can't decide on a shower faucet. Are you happy with yours? Can you adjust the head tilt? Is it hard to keep clean? Haha thanks for your help.

First, I can't believe how amazingly beautiful you managed to make that space look spending only $7,000. If I was given that same space and budget, I'm not sure I could deliver a COMPLETE and functioning bathroom at all, let alone one that looks like I (easily) spent $25,000 (which, btw, is the minimum amount that anyone who knows what good stuff costs would guess your bath to have cost). So, my hat's off to you for pulling this off!

Second, I see that you respond to each and every comment individually, thanking the commenter for reading or or for their compliments. That might actually impress me more than the subject of the post because I can think of only one other blogger who even comes close to that (and I've read a lot of blogs!). It's so off putting when people post things publicly, solicit comments--and then ignore them! So, thank you for thanking us! ;-)

I look forward to browsing through the rest of this site. (Did I mention I'm a first-time visitor?)

Without a doubt this is the most BEAUTIFUL bathroom ever. The fact that you did the job yourselves is do impressive. We are in the midst of a bathroom reno job and so voila....how fortunate of me to find your site. Congratulations on the bathroom, your blog and all the wonderful inspiration that you have provided.

Your bathroom is beautiful. We are purchasing a 1940's home and are taking a secondary bedroom to convert to a master bathroom and closet.Can you tell me the dimensions of your bathroom? It looks to be about the size we are thinking we would like to have.

In case you're searching for a wonderful appearance, toughness, and simple upkeep, you can't beat artistic floor tiles. Another great decision for a washroom is vinyl flooring. This kind of material comes in either 6' or 12' widths, so you just need to purchase the measure of you need. Vinyl is accessible in a wide assortment of examples, some of which are very one of a kind, and others which are intended to take after hardwood, stone, or tile flooring. http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2015/12/looking-intently.html

Hello! First, thank you for being so generous by sharing the details of your bathroom remodel! I can't tell you how excited/grateful I am to have these details. I do have just a few questions ... 1) For the bathroom tile, is it a octagon-and-dot tile design that you have? If so, is it low sheen?2) Are there any more details you can provide regarding the type of glass tile that was used for the shower niche?3) I saw that some folks who purchased the same glass shower unit had trouble with installation and/or the drain? (One person mentioned the drain being flimsy ... what are your thoughts?)4) Between the wall sconces and chandelier, do you feel you have sufficient lighting in the bathroom? (I just love the look!)

I was wondering if you find your shower to be excessively loud. I have read a few reviews on this shower piece, and several of them have complained about the noise from the water flowing through the pipes. Have you had that experience?

So glad I found your bathroom makeover on Pinterest! We will be purchasing the same mirrors and possibly use the same paint color too. Our goal was to make our bathroom feel like a spa - and you nailed it!

Hi! Beautiful work!! I noticed that you mention that your shower unit was from Costco. Would you mind sharing a link or name if they still carry it. Sorry if I missed this and you already shared that info. Thanks!!

Every homeowner with a basement imagines that horror. If it should happen to you, don’t retreat into a fetal position on your couch and hope for a miracle, no matter how much you want to. You can deal with the soggy disaster. Here’s how.

OK first take a good look at your self. What do you like what do you not like so much. Work on that which you do not like. But do not listen to other people their opinions do not matter only yours does. Work on having the attitude that this is who you’re and if they don’t like it they can go to hell. beststeamshowers.com

When you get it clean use a grout sealer. I found one at Lowe's that was really easy to use. You spray it on and if it gets on the tile it's OK, you just wipe it off with a towel. Find out more: https:howtoclean.info
